Introduction
The International Telecommunication Union initiated work on the Next Generation Network (NGN) architecture some years ago. Its origin could already be found in the work on Global Information Infrastructure delivering recommendations from around 1998. The NGN work has outlined several important principles regarding layering, mobility and convergence. The goal of the NGN is to provide seamless federation of interconnected, interoperable communication networks and information processing equipment, data bases and terminals.
Wide range of services/applications and providers
Packet- based (IP) network
Common denominator to fuel interoperability
Wide range of transport, access, and terminal technologies
Introduction (cont.)
Some detailed objectives of NGN include: Promote fair competition Encourage private investment Dene a framework for architecture and capabilities to be able to meet various regulatory requirements Provide open access to network Ensuring universal provision of and access to services Promoting equality of opportunity to the citizen Promoting diversity of content, including cultural and linguistic diversity Recognizing the necessity of worldwide cooperation with particular attention to less developed countries.
Denitions
A Next Generation Network (NGN) is a packet based network able to provide telecommunication services to users and able to make use of multiple broadband, QoS-enabled transport technologies and in which service-related functions are independent of the underlying transport-related technologies. It enables unfettered access for users to networks and to competing service providers and services of their choice. It supports generalised mobility which will allow consistent and ubiquitous provision of services to users.
Fundamental aspects
The NGN is characterised by the following fundamental aspects: Packet-based transfer Separation of control functions among bearer capabilities, call/session, and application/service Decoupling of service provision from transport, and provision of open interfaces Support for a wide range of services, applications and mechanisms based on service building blocks (including real time/streaming/non-real time services and multi-media) Broadband capabilities with end-to-end QoS and transparency Interworking with legacy networks via open interfaces Generalised mobility.
Fundamental aspects (cont.)

The NGN is characterised by the following fundamental aspects: Unfettered access by users to dierent service providers A variety of identication schemes which can be resolved to IP addresses for the purposes of routing in IP networks Unied service characteristics for the same service as perceived by the user Converged services between xed and mobile networks Independence of service-related functions from underlying transport technologies Support of multiple last mile technologies Compliant with all regulatory requirements, for example concerning emergency communications and security/privacy, etc.

NGN architecture (cont.)
The NGN functional architecture shall incorporate the following principles: Support for multiple access technologies: The NGN functional architecture shall oer the conguration exibility needed to support multiple access technologies. Distribute control: This will enable adaptation to the distributed processing nature of packet-based networks and support location transparency for distributed computing. Open control: The network control interface should be open to support service creation, service updating, and incorporation of service logic provision by third parties.
NGN architecture (cont.)

Independent service provisioning: The service provisioning process should be separated from transport network operation by using the above mentioned distributed, open control mechanism. This is intended to promote a competitive environment for NGN development in order to speed up the provision of diversied NGN services. Support for services in a converged network: This is needed to generate exible, easy-to-use multimedia services, by tapping the technical potential of the converged, xed-mobile functional architecture of the NGN. Enhanced security and protection: This is the basic principle of an open architecture. It is imperative to protect the network infrastructure by providing mechanisms for security and survivability in the relevant layers.

Introduction to LTE
Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the latest standard in the mobile broadband technology that is a project of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), operating under a name trademarked by one of the associations within the partnership, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute. The current generation of mobile telecommunication networks are collectively known as 3G (for third generation). Although LTE is often marketed as 4G, rst-release LTE is actually a 3.9G technology since it does not fully comply with the IMT Advanced 4G requirements. The pre-4G standard is a step towards LTE Advanced, the 4th generation standard (4G) of radio technologies designed to increase the capacity and speed of mobile telephone networks. LTE Advanced is backwards compatible with LTE and use the same frequency bands, while LTE is not backwards compatible with 3G systems.

LTE deployment
Verizon Wireless and AT&T Mobility in the United States and several worldwide carriers announced plans, beginning in 2009, to convert their networks to LTE. The worlds rst publicly available LTE-service was opened by TeliaSonera in the two Scandinavian capitals Stockholm and Oslo on the 14th of December 2009. LTE is a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) which was introduced in 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 8. Much of 3GPP Release 8 focuses on adopting 4G mobile communications technology, including an all-IP at networking architecture. While it is commonly seen as a mobile telephone or common carrier development, LTE is also endorsed by public safety agencies in the US as the preferred technology for the new 700 MHz public-safety radio band. Agencies in some areas have led for waivers hoping to use the 700 MHz spectrum with other technologies in advance of the adoption of a nationwide standard.
